Axayaca

Axayaca (1493-c. 1535) was an emissary of the Aztec Empire.

Biography
Axayaca was born in Tehuacan (present-day Puebla State, Mexico) in 1493. He served as an emissary at the court of the Aztec Empire under Emperor Moctezuma II and was sent to communicate with New Spain in 1522 after their capture of Tehuacan. He asked for a peace treaty, but the dastard Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes demanded an immensely-high sum of 100,000 gold coins for every year for 1,000 years; Axayaca refused. From time to time, the offer was made again and again, but the same counter-offer was given to him and then refused. He disappeared after the fall of Tecuantepec, the last Aztec city, in 1535.
